About
The Joy Expansion Project
Joy is having its moment. It’s an antidote anthem. The joyful are blooming against anger and fear. It’s the way through. It’s the way above.
It’s the way.
Here’s the thing. A joy practice works, regardless of how you get to it. It can be a spiritual quest, research based, born of scientific data, the core of your art practice, the coping tool in tragedy. All joy roads lead to joy.
The Joy Expansion Project is about building your Joy Practice so it takes root and transforms every aspect of your wild and precious life.

The Six Pathways
-
Notice
Train your attention to be more available to joy. Seek what is beautiful, meaningful, interesting, or alive.
-
Feel
Embrace the willingness to be deeply moved. Reclaim enthusiasm, curiosity, whimsy, awe, delight, and play.
-
Appreciate
Develop an active relationship with appreciation and gratitude. Not simply a list of what enhances your life, but what it feels like in your body to give thanks.
-
Move
Find movement you love and fold it into your every day. Small movements count. Dance, stretch, hike, walk.
-
Create
Discover intuitive art — using color, movement, and images to bypass overthinking and reconnect with your joyful core self.
-
Connect
Feel the threads that weave you into community, nature, and your deepest self.
